| Coffee County had to draw its territory from parts of Clinch, Irwin, Telfair and Ware counties in 1854. General John Coffee, an Indian fighter, is honored with its naming. Douglas, the county seat, is named for Stephen A. Douglas, the Democrat who unsuccessfully opposed Abraham Lincoln in his first race for the presidency. |
